Makeup that Moisturizes? You Bet.

It’s no secret that Pϋr’s multitasking makeup can do a lot—condition the skin, correct common concerns, fight free radicals—all while delivering flawless coverage. But did you know your favorite 4-in-1, Correcting Primer and more can also help hydrate your skin? You’d better believe it.

The secret is in a type of ingredient called ceramides. Ceramides are key lipids found in the skin’s outer layer. If you think of your skin’s cells as bricks, ceramides act as the mortar that binds them together. When this component is compromised, the skin can dry out, lose form and become irritated.

Using a unique encapsulated delivery system, products like Pϋr Minerals’ enhanced Correcting Primers and 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup with built-in skincare deliver this essential element to the skin. The result is a boost in hydration that quenches parched skin and even helps plump away the look of lines.

Holiday Miracle Must-Have: Fulvic Mineral Mist

It may be the most wonderful time of year to you, but as far as your skin’s concerned, the holiday season means drier, colder days ripe for cracking and chapping. Instead of spending your days slathering on cream after cream, simplify your life with a multipurpose mist that hydrates from head to toe instantly—Fulvic Mineral Mist.

Dry Skin Relief
Between the colder weather outside and the dry heat indoors, winter can wreak havoc on your skin. With over 70 essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids, Pür’s miracle hydrator not only locks in vital moisture but also nourishes skin to keep it healthy and glowing all season long.

Winter Hair First Aid
Your skin isn’t the only thing that suffers when the humidity vanishes. Winter’s bone-dry air can make that much-fussed-over hairstyle fall flat in minutes. Revive those luscious locks in seconds with the same mineral formula that helps tame stubborn frizz and flyaways in the summertime. 

Makeup-Friendly Moisture
Winter means you’ll be reaching for your moisturizer more than usual. But once you’ve got your look just right, the last thing you want to do is smear cream or lotion all over your makeup. Fortunately, Mineral Mist’s lightweight formula lets you hydrate your skin without ruining your look. (It even sets mineral makeup!)

Fall Skincare Tips & Tricks

With the sweltering dog days of summer finally behind us, the cool, crisp autumn months come as a welcomed relief. However, as the mercury drops, so does the humidity. As Mother Nature dials down the heat and dries out the air, the change in weather can be a roller coaster ride for your skin. Here are just a few things you can do to keep your skin hydrated and healthy in the months ahead:

Exfoliate Often
If you’re constantly reapplying moisturizer throughout the day, the problem may not be your moisturizer—it may be your skin. As skin cells dry out and die, they form a layer over healthy skin that’s difficult to penetrate. That’s why regular exfoliation is extra important during the drier months. If your moisturizer doesn’t seem to be pulling its weight, pump up your exfoliating regimen with a gentle total body scrub like Pür Polish. And, as always, be sure to moisturize immediately after.

Mind Your Moisturizer
You might’ve gotten away with a thin, water-based moisturizer in the summer months. But as the humidity goes into hibernation, so should weak moisturizers. Instead of watery lotions that evaporate in dry weather, look for a rich, emollient cream like Mineral Moisture Complex that will lock moisture in and keep the elements from sucking you dry. Rich in sunflower seed oil, this luscious night cream offers deep hydration without pore-clogging petroleum or synthetic oils.

Ban Hot Showers and Baths
While there’s nothing better than soaking in a hot bath after braving the cold, this common indulgence could be taking a toll on your skin. Hot showers and baths can actually break down the skin’s lipid barrier—a fatty layer that traps moisture inside the skin—leaving it dehydrated.  Instead, use warm water and be sure to moisturize afterward. For chapped or cracked skin, adding baking soda or oatmeal to your bath can spell instant relief (not to mention relaxation).

Start Now! kit a Family Friendly Favorite

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Pür fans are the best! Last week, blogger Heather at Family Friendly Frugality tried our NEW 5-Piece Start Now! Essentials Collection with amazing results. Read her story below:

I’ve had bad skin since I was in my early pre-teens. There were times that I stayed home from school because my acne was so painful.

Now that I’m approaching 30, my skin is somewhat better, but plenty of scars still remain. I also still breakout quite often. It’s in different areas now and it’s not quite as painful, but as a 29-year-old woman, it’s still very frustrating.

Typically, my makeup of choice is a thick liquid foundation. Of course there’s plenty of concealer and a good caking of pressed powder on top as well.

I did try a brief stint with mineral make up a few years back, but during my pregnancy with my daughter my skin changed and it just didn’t seem to be compatible with my complexion any longer.

Needless to say, I was a bit hesitant when I received my Pür Minerals 5-Piece NEW Start Now Kit! in the mail. I just wasn’t sure it would work for me.

Not only that, I am a mom, so my time to get ready is very limited.

The first thing I did was put some of the Neutral Primer on my face. It was very light and not greasy feeling at all. I let it dry and then started to sweep on the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup in a circular motion. I was so surprised at the coverage! I also loved the Chisel Brush that they included in the package. It was nice and soft on my face.

I used a bit of the Mineral Glow as blush and swept the Impact+ Mascara on my eyelids. So pretty!

I love the coverage of this makeup. You wouldn’t think a powder could feel this light, but cover so well. I have tried other mineral makeup, and I honestly think Pür Mineral’s is top notch above the rest!

Hot Rocks a Hit on FitnessMagazine.com

Three-dimensional beauty is in, and few powdery pebbles bring the heat like Pür’s luminous Hot Rocks. In a recent blog article featured on FitnessMagazine.com, the award-winning multi-pigmented makeup rocks were praised for their brilliant color and total versatility. Here’s the scoop, straight from the fitness guru’s Beauty on the Go blog:

“Not only do these faintly shimmery bronzer, blush, and highlighting powders give cheeks a gorgeous glow when applied with a brush swirled over the multi-tonal pigments, but they can also multitask. We’ve experimented with using individual beads as eye shadow, lip color (topped with gloss or balm), and luminizer on the inner corners of eyes, under the brows, and on the cupid’s bow. They’re just plain fun to use, like makeup should be!”
